I've been using this keyboard on and off for a while now. I've always switched back to gboard, however this update made me convert full time. It's really good.
There are a few issues, like it randomly capitalizes words in the middle of sentences. Also, it doesn't seem to take context into account when suggesting words, so words that clearly wouldn't follow the last word will often show up.
It's not as good as gboard yet, but close enough that I'm going to stick with it.
Note that if you have a more powerful device, you can get larger models for voice and larger dictionaries from their site. They make a noticeable difference.
The only fundamental issue I have with it, they seem to be ideologically opposed to adding a GIF search, which I miss occasionally. https://github.com/futo-org/android-keyboard/issues/293#issuecomment-3024858791 https://github.com/futo-org/android-keyboard/issues/293#issu...
- james2doyle 3mo agoWe sound similar. I have found that the voice to text can often just randomly start spitting out emojis. Did you find that?
- rpdillon 3mo agoWhich voice model are you using? I found that the english-74 is quite excellent. Used it to type this. Haven't seen the emoji issue with that model. Perhaps you're on english-39? https://keyboard.futo.org/voice-input-models https://keyboard.futo.org/voice-input-models
- globular-toast 3mo agoGood. That's a silly thing to have in a keyboard. No silly childish gifs that I can accidentally click on is a great feature.
